So im going to score these gloves on a few different levels and all levels out of a simple 3 points. Zero being the lowest and 3 being the best.Im going to leave looks and fit out of the equations as thats subjective and different for every person.

1: grip ( how grippy is the rubber in the catching areas )

2: Palm Protection ( what is under the surface and realistically is it adequate )

3: Finger tip protection ( caps and padding on the fingertips )

4: Wrist protection ( whats the padding like on the wrists )

5: flexibility ( soft and supple, or do they need to be played in over a few games etc )

6: Quality ( is it made from old crappy materials or state of the art lightweight material )

7: weight ( how much does it weigh, lighter is better )

Kookaburra 650 wicket keeper gloves 2013.

1: grip : ( 3 ) good level of grip but found all the gloves to have the same grip level regardless of grip pattern e.g. octopus suction cup, hexagon cups etc.

2: Palm Protection : ( 3 ) all gloves had similar gel padding and couldn’t tell any difference between the lot

3: Finger tip protection : ( 3 ) pretty decent cups

4: Wrist protection : ( 1 ) very soft low density foam. I would say the protection level would be ok for low club level or school level cricket.

5: flexibility : ( 2 ) gonna take some wearing in to soften these gloves up.

6: Quality : ( 2 ) i cant find any faults for club level these would be perfect or even indoor cricket. Whilst its not the most expensive product on the market it is value for money.

7: weight : ( 2 ) 10.4 oz. A relatively light weight glove.

Score : 16 / 21

Price : $45.99

An overall very good score for a low level glove. Solid construction and good material. I can only hope these stay together for a season. if they do these would be a great buy for a high school or club.
